'''Lindórië''' was the sister of [[Eärendur]] of [[Andúnië]] in [[Númenor]]. Lindórië was part of the tradition of the [[Faithful]] associated with the [[:Category:Lords of Andúnië|Lords of Andúnië]], and she passed this tradition on to her daughter [[Inzilbêth]]. Inzilbêth became Queen to King [[Ar-Gimilzôr]], one of the greatest enemies of the Faithful, but her elder son [[Inziladûn]] was of like mind with his mother. So, when Lindórië's grandson took the [[Sceptre of Númenor]], he took an [[Elvish]] name, [[Tar-Palantir]], and did what little he could to reverse the work of the King's Men.

Etymology

Lindórië's name is Quenya, but its meaning is hard to deduce with certainty. It may come from the roots linda 'fair', -órë 'rising'; or perhaps rië 'crown' and -, a suffix verb form used as an adjective; "Rising Beauty" or "High Crown of Fair Beauty" (i.e. 'golden-haired').[source?]
